Sansum Clinic’s Mark Silverberg Honored for Role in Campaign for Sight

Mark Silverberg, M.D., a board-certified ophthalmologist with the Sansum Clinic of Santa Barbara, is the recipient of the Jim Stanley Perpetual Memorial Award from the Lions Sight & Hearing Center at Cottage Hospital.

The Jim Stanley Perpetual Memorial Award was established in memory of Stanley, who served as president of the Lions Sight & Hearing Center for 24 years until his death in 2003.

The honor is given for outstanding service and dedication to the Lions Sight & Hearing Center of Santa Barbara and exemplifies the Lions’ campaign for sight.

Silverberg has been instrumental in assisting the center in researching and purchasing several pieces of specialized equipment for eye exams in very young children and those who are unable to cooperate in a regular eye exam.

Silverberg trained at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, where he completed a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus. He completed his internship at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and his ophthalmology residency at Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York City.

His comprehensive practice includes cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment and his specialty, pediatric eye disease. In addition, he has a special interest in eye muscle problems and double vision.

Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.

Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.

We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.

The results of our investigation will be published here in this Noozhawk Asks section. Once or twice a month, we plan to do a review of what was asked and answered.
